RIOT: Police clashed with protestors at the shantytown

Activists set tents on fire, threw rocks at officers and refusing to move out of the way of bulldozers. Police with batons fought with UK-bound migrants in the southern part of the shantytown, which is being flattened.

One women, who is four months pregnant, refused to leave her temporary home while another slashed her wrists.

Some of the foreigners poured onto roads and threatened terrified lorry drivers in a bid to get to Britain.

Police squads fired tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons to get the chaos under control. Some children were hit.

Authorities fear the clearance job may take weeks, which could see more foreigners take extreme risks to cross the border.
